Three motion picture houses devoted exclusively to the showing of talking pictures with the dialogue entirely in Yiddish will be opened by the Judea Films early in June, according to Joseph Seiden, president of the company.
This will be the first of a series of a national chain of such theatres, the first being opened on the lower East Side, another in Brighton Beach and still another in the Bronx. The Judea Films expects to have in production very shortly enough films to ensure a constant change of program weekly all through its circuit of Jewish theatres.
